Contest Update

Thanks to everyone that submitted a photo for the contest!

I thought we might get a few hundred entries but we ended up with over 2,200 submissions.

We've all enjoyed the images and related stories. No matter who gets the book I think we were all winners.

hmmm...next contest could be taking a vintage item, tell a story about it (ie grandfather clock, special chair, jewelry, clothes...etc.) incorporate it somehow in a fashion shoot-like photo and submit it.

I'm too tired to guess but whatever you come up with, I'm sure it will be entertaining. I love this series.

It's moving to read the vintage photo stories and feel the intense connection that people still have to the long-gone people in them. A deep appreciation of who they were and their continuing influence.

I like the wedding idea. I was thinking maybe modern vintage - taking some vintage item(s) of clothing or accessories and having it be part of a modern outfit. Maybe that is what lumikha is saying also?

Scott, the contest was such a wonderful idea... All this diversity, the stories, the different views, the emotions. I think we are not talking only about style, but about life and humanity. As you "allowed" us, I'm taking the liberty of sending one more picture.BTW, I miss some photos from the 60's and 70's, more hippies and disco era.Congratulations again.

DARN. I really was hoping to submit some pictures! Too bad they're all left behind in the Philippines.

I have stories to share and beautiful pictures of my late Grandpa when he used to play drums and was a town town councillor. He always was a dapper gentleman. I wish I have my Grandma's pictures of when she young, she used to sell bread before going to school, she sews and was a hairstylist during war.

I'm going to ask my relatives if they could send them to me. I'm crossing my fingers.

Dear Sart,

I am writing a note to say that having contests are a GREAT idea !!! The vintage photo contest was genius and I hope you continue the "interactive" trend on your blog!
